Trump the other day said something like, Kamala Harris wants to give everyone free healthcare, can you believe that? And I was thinking, is he just outright campaigning for her now?

‘We love Hitler. We love Trump.’: White supremacists march through Howell • Michigan Advance
About a dozen masked white supremacists marched through downtown Howell on Saturday, chanting “Heil Hitler” and carrying signs with messages like “White Lives Matter” and “End the War on White Children.” Howell, which lies between Lansing and Detroit, has long had a reputation for extremist...michiganadvance.com
‘We love Hitler. We love Trump.’: White supremacists march through Howell
Group hung Nazi and KKK banners on highway overpass
“…
Howell, which lies between Lansing and Detroit, has long had a reputation for extremist activity. It became known as a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) hotspot in the 1970s and 80s when infamous Michigan KKK Grand Dragon Robert Miles held hate rallies and cross burnings at his Cohoctah Township property north of Howell until his death in 1992.
That reputation has lingered, continually fueled by incidents such as a well-publicized auction of a Klan robe in 2005, and hate messages posted online by Howell students in 2014 after a basketball game with a racially-mixed Grand Blanc basketball team. Community leaders have worked hard to fight that image, including a symbolic scrubbing of the steps of the historic Livingston County courthouse in 1995 following a KKK rally.
…
The group eventually returned to their vehicles, one of which Farrell noted was a Mercedes with a Pennsylvania license plate, while another vehicle had a Michigan plate.
“There were no threats, no violence, and they didn’t appear to have weapons,” she said. “They definitely looked intimidating but so does anyone dressed like that. The reality is no one carries those signs, chants that crap, and dresses in tactical clothes if they’re not looking for trouble. They just made a mistake coming to Howell, a mistake that I hope no one makes again. This community may have its flaws but what I saw was a united front denouncing that group’s violent, racist, anti-semitic propaganda.”
According to a joint statement by the City of Howell, the Livingston Diversity Council, and the Howell Chamber of Commerce, Howell Police made contact with several of the demonstrators and confirmed that they came from “as far away as Saginaw and Macomb counties,” although one participant was believed to have come from nearby Fowlerville. …”
——
It sounds like the town has cleaned up its act in the nearly 30 years since Bob Miles died, but still is a draw for these KKKretins.
I still have friends who live close to Howell and from what they've said it hasn't cleaned up anything but it does try to ignore the morons which, I suppose, is all it can do but still there's still a massive Klan presence in the area and has some of those paramilitary groups that conduct "maneuvers" nearby.
That’s one way to counter-program the DNC, I guess.
nyc has the best gif game out there. Love it!

In all sincerity, I don't think anyone who proclaims to be a Republican at this point can be humiliated.

No, I'm sure she has heard it and is lying. But who cares, hear or not, she should be able to agree that it is wrong.

Nebraska GOP may make one more attempt at repealing the way their electoral votes are allocated before this election (they failed an earlier attempt this year, infuriating Trump), but this is a big reason why Nebraska went this way, to draw attention (and advertising dollars) to a low electoral vote state.Kamala and Tim going after one electoral vote... I love it !

At this point in history any criticisms of Democrats as "budget busters" should be literally laughed into silence. Republican Presidents talk about balancing the budget and slam Democrats as wasteful spenders, yet every GOP POTUS from Nixon on has spent like drunken sailors and ran up record budget deficits, including Trump. The last GOP president to actually care about a balanced budget and to occasionally have one was Dwight Eisenhower well over 60 years ago. Modern GOP presidents love to spend money, they just spend it on different things from Democrats.

I was going to post something earlier about how this is always the tired Republican talking point (does it even qualify as that?). Please retire it. We get it. Democrats are socialists/communists. Now let’s actually talk about the issues and policy positions….

Trae has been speaking truth to power for 8 years or more. Always spot on. And screw your aunt Trudy… asking for trump to grab her by the short hairs…. she should know better than that.
